Jamie:
[to patient]
Well, the PA says you can go home today, isn't that great?
Patient:
[freaking out, flailing limbs]
Oh no! I cannot! My husband, he cannot come! Nor can my daughters!
Time passes.
Jamie:
[startled to see "the husband who couldn't pick up the patient," now in room visiting leisurely]
You know, your wife can go home today, since you're here...
Husband of patient:
[as if this settles everything]
No, I don't have time to bring her home. I have meetings. Tomorrow will be fine.
Jamie:
[backs out of room quietly and checks Reality Barometer, which apparently isn't working today]
